Chapter 439: The Fourth Crossing of the Jingshui River (Part 1)

After laughing, Yang Qing immediately said seriously: "Everyone, I mean to give in to the infantry here to stand firm, and led the cavalry around the border leopard's troops to go north to attack Yanhe's troops."

"Empress, it is possible to attack Yan He's troops north, but the infantry stayed in Chi Yang and could not stop Bian Bao and Deng En. If they crossed the Jing River directly to Anling regardless of the safety of Yan He's troops, the thousands of infantry stayed in Chi Yang could only let them go.

This will allow Cao Zhen to get reinforcements, and the pressure on the Prime Minister will also increase. So is it better to be quiet than to move, and the entire army will stay here to stop Yan and Bian Bao and others from returning to Anling?" Zhang Yi opposed tactfully.

Although Yang Qing had more than 8,000 troops in his hand, the only ones who could go out of the city to fight in the field were still more than 3,000 cavalry. The infantry were all new recruits with lack of practical experience. If you can defend the city, you can only be beaten when you go out to fight in front.

The last time he broke through from Anling, the recruits performed well, but firstly, they caught the Wei army off guard. Secondly, they had more people than the Wei army, and thirdly, they finally relied on Zhang Yi to lead the cavalry to arrive before they successfully retreated. However, even so, the recruits lost four or five thousand in that battle.

Now, the Wei army of Yan He, Bian Bao and Deng En has a total of more than 10,000 people, and there are nearly 7,000 cavalrymen alone, with very strong combat power. The infantry will suffer heavy losses when they go out to fight against them.

However, Yang Qing still felt that Zhang Yi's suggestions were inappropriate and replied: "It would be best if he could hold on to the enemy. However, Chiyang City was not on the main road. The Wei army could completely ignore us and go around the city to go south. If he went out to block the city, there would be only three thousand cavalry available, but how could the three thousand cavalry stop the tens of thousands of Wei troops?

Moreover, this place is only a few dozen miles away from Jingshui. Even if we follow Feng Chong's imitation of guerrilla tactics, it will not take long. Therefore, we must think about other things and make other plans to relieve the pressure of the Prime Minister and gain time."

"this......"

Zhang Yi was stunned and thought for a moment, feeling that Yang Qing's words were indeed reasonable, so he bowed and said, "I am not thinking well if you say something reasonable."

Yang Qing smiled and waved his hand, and continued, "The cavalry went north not to really attack Yan Hemen, but to take the opportunity to stay away from the Chiyang battlefield and go upstream of the Jingshui River, then quietly crossed back to the west bank of the Jingshui River, and then detoured south from the west bank, waiting invisibly."

"Crossing back to the west bank? Envoy, then we are going to cross the Jing River four times." Liu Yin said.

Yang Qing nodded and said, "Yes, the key to this plan is to cross the Jing River in Sidu. Our army travels back and forth across the Jing River and constantly looks for favorable fighter opportunities so that we can defeat the more with less."

"What a wonderful thing, the plan of the king is like a wild horse. Not only is the Wei army elusive, but we are also in the fog."

Zhang Yi praised him and then asked, "I wonder what should I do after I wait?"

"Then they will naturally attack the enemy between half-cross. When Bian Bao and others start crossing the river, our army will suddenly arrive, and the Wei army will definitely be frightened. At that time, it will damage the Wei army in one fell swoop and buy more time for the Prime Minister and the others." Yang Qing said confidently.

After hearing the complete plan, Zhang Yi and others immediately called for a clever plan. Everyone was very excited and begged Yang Qing to order quickly.

Yang Qing didn't say anything, stood up suddenly, looked around everyone, and said loudly: "Zhang Yi listened to the order."

"The lower official is here." Zhang Yi stood up and responded.

Yang Qing said: "I ordered you to lead the infantry to stay in Chiyang and let them go when the Wei army circulates the city south. When they start crossing the river, they will take the opportunity to attack from behind and attack the enemy with the cavalry on the west bank at half-cross."

"No." Zhang Yi held his fists and took the order.

Yang Qing shouted again: "Liu Yin, Tao Gong."

"Here." The two of them stood up and responded.

"You and the other two led the cavalry to the north with someone. We attacked Yan He and pretended to be defeated, and then we looked for an opportunity to cross back to the west bank of the Jing River."

Liu Yin and Tao Gong both clasped their fists and replied, "Zu Ling."

"You and the other two went to prepare their troops immediately and set off in an hour." Yang Qing ordered again.

"promise."

The two left the lobby to prepare the troops themselves. Yang Qing and Zhang Yi and others instructed them not to fight at will, and they must wait until the Wei army crossed the river before launching a fatal blow.

An hour later, Yang Qing led more than 3,000 cavalry and suddenly broke out from the northern gate of Chiyang. The Wei army had not deployed many troops in the north, only a few hundred cavalry, which could not stop Yang Qing and the others from leaving. They had to report to the border leopard.

"What? The Shu cavalry left Chiyang and ran to the north?" Bian Bao was shocked.

The sergeant who came to report the message replied: "That's right, I can't stop them, so I have to let them go."

Bian Bao knew that the sin was not with them, and waved, "I understand, you should step down first."

When the soldiers left the tent, Bian Bao turned his head and looked at Deng En beside him and asked, "Brother Deng, what do you think?"

Deng En pondered for a while and replied: "I thought the Shu cavalry went north to attack General Yan and the others."

"I thought so too. The Shu cavalry did not dare to fight with us, so I wanted to attack our infantry, so I could cut off my arm first. Yang Qingfeiyang was decisive and difficult to deal with."

Deng En said: "Then should we send troops to rescue us? General Yan and the others are only one day away from us. As soon as they arrive, we can join forces and return to Anling immediately. Zhuge Liang's army is about to arrive, and the general is eager to wait for us to return."

Bian Bao and Deng En received news that Zhuge Liang's army was striking towards Anling half a day earlier than Yang Qing and others. The reason why they blocked Anling's road to all directions was simply to create the illusion of encircling and annihilation of Yang Qing's army, so that they could confuse the Han army so that they could successfully cross the Jing River.

However, what they didn't know was that this plan had been discovered by Yang Qing, and Yang Qing was just right to use it and pretend to go north and stay away from the battlefield on the southern front.

Sure enough, Bian Bao thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "No need to send troops to reinforce General Yan and the others, just send the scouts to inform him."

"Why?" Dunn said in confusion.

Bian Bao said: "First of all, although General Yan and others are all infantrymen, they have a total of 5,000 troops, and their troops are stronger than those of the Shu cavalry. As long as they set up their formations, they will not be defeated easily.

Secondly, our top priority is to successfully cross the Jing River and return to Anling. The reason why we didn't set out was that in addition to waiting for General Yan and the others, we were also worried that the Shu army would leave the city to block it.

Although the Shu army had eight thousand people, the only thing they were concerned about was more than three thousand cavalry. Now they left Chiyang and headed north to the north to reach our mind. Without the harassment of this Shu cavalry, we can cross the river calmly."

"Yes, it is very beneficial for us to go north. But in this way, we can't wait for General Yan and the others anymore." Deng En said.

Bian Bao said, "I can't wait for him anymore. It's the same for me to cross the river and return to help first. You and I have more than 6,000 cavalry in our hands. This is a combat power that cannot be ignored. I believe that returning to Anling is enough to help the general resist Zhuge Liang."

"Okay, that's it."

Dunn patted his thighs to agree, and then asked, "When will I start?"

"Don't worry, wait for another half a day to prevent the Shu cavalry from firing and not going far away."

Dunn nodded: "Yes, Yang Qing is quite cunning, and I really have to be wary of him suddenly killing him and shooting him back."
